Did you ever see my blog (here on CrimeSpace) called The Power of Jack?
Looking for common interests, I came up with Michael Connelly and The Transporter.
In a first novel I made the mistake of having the Chicago River flow the way most rivers flow, into larger lower bodies of water. Good guess, no? But it's wrong. Engineers have reversed the flow so that Chicago's sewage doesn't flow right into its fresh water intake. It was a small error but from then on I wanted to get everything right, even if the story could get along well with faking it. Even one of Ray Bradbury's short stories had the moons of Mars revolving the wrong way around the parent planet, and if you notice things like this, it's jarring.
Cass: you're secret's safe with me.
Everybody else: Welcome!
